Notes to Schedule 11
Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the City. The schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents and businesses of Corona. This process recognizes that, when considering the City's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident, and therefore responsible for the repaying the debt, of each overlapping government.
The percentage of overlapping debt applicable to the City is estimated using taxable assessed property value. Applicable percentages were estimated by determining the portion of the overlapping district's assessed value that is within the boundaries of the city divided by the district's total taxable assessed value, except for community facilities district overlapping debt which was estimated by determining the special tax charged on property within the City, divided by the community facilities district’s total special tax for the fiscal year.
Amount excluded tax and revenue anticipation notes, enterprise revenue bonds, mortgage revenue bonds, and Successor Agency's tax allocation bonds.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council and Citizens
of the City of Corona
Corona, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Trip Reduction Special Revenue Fund of the City of Corona, California (the “City”) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trip Reduction Special Revenue Fund of the City as of June 30, 2024, and the change in its financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAS”) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (“Government Auditing Standards”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the Trip Reduction Special Revenue Fund and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2024, the changes in its financial position, or, where applicable, its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council and Citizens
of the City of Corona
Corona, California
2 Auditors’ Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Budgetary Comparison Schedule be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Management has omitted the Management’s Discussion and Analysis that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our opinion on the basic financial statements is not affected by this missing information.
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council and Citizens
of the City of Corona
Corona, California
3 Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 25, 2024, on our consideration of the City’s internal control financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over the Trip Reduction Special Revenue Fund’s financial reporting and compliance.

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND
OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council and Citizens
of the City of Corona
Corona, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (“Government Auditing Standards”), the financial statements of the Trip Reduction Special Revenue Fund of the City of Corona, California (the “City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated November 25, 2024.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over the Trip Reduction Special Revenue Fund’s financial reporting (“internal control”) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City’s internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council and Citizens
of the City of Corona
Corona, California
6 Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Trip Reduction Special Revenue Fund's financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR TRIP REDUCTION SPECIAL REVENUE FUND;
AND REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE
Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council and Citizens
of the City of Corona
Corona, California
Report on Compliance for the Trip Reduction Special Revenue Fund Opinion on Compliance
We have audited the City of Corona, California’s (the “City”) compliance with the type of compliance requirements described in the Assembly Bill 2766, Chapter 1705 (44220 through 44247) (“AB 2766”) for the year ended June 30, 2024.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that are applicable to Trip Reduction Special Revenue Fund for the year ended June 30, 2024.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAS”); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (“Government Auditing Standards”); and AB 2766. Our responsibilities under those standards and AB 2766 are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City's compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the City's AB 2766 programs.
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council and Citizens
of the City of Corona
Corona, California
8 Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the City's compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and AB 2766 will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the City's compliance with the requirements of the government program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the AB 2766, we:
exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the City's compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. obtain an understanding of the City's internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with AB 2766, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a compliance requirement will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council and Citizens
of the City of Corona
Corona, California
9 Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of AB 2766. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

The Trip Reduction Special Revenue Fund of the City of Corona Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
15 Note 1 – Financial Reporting Entity and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies A. Financial Reporting Entity
The Trip Reduction Special Revenue Fund (the “Fund”) of the City of Corona, California (the “City”) was formed in 1993 to account for allocation made by Assembly Bill 2766 (“AB 2766”), known as the Clean Air Act.
The financial statements of the Fund are intended to present the financial position and changes in financial position of only those transactions attributable to the Fund that is operated by the City. The City performs all administrative and accounting functions. The financial statements of the Fund are included in the basic financial statements of the City.
The financial statements of the Fund have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) as applied to governmental agencies. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (the “GASB”) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The financial statements were prepared from only the accounts of the Fund. Accordingly, the financial statements do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City and changes in financial position thereof.
B. Fund Accounting
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. Monies received under AB 2766 are recorded in the Fund. AB 2766 authorizes the South Coast Air Quality Management District (“SCAQMD”) to impose an annual vehicle registration fee and to distribute a portion of the collected revenues to all local jurisdictions within the South Coast Air Basin. These revenues are to be used solely to reduce air pollution from motor vehicles by implementing new programs and studies necessary for the implementation of the California Clean Air Act.
The Fund is presented as a Special Revenue Fund.
C. Financial Statements Presentation, Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus The fund financial statements include a Balance Sheet and a Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Change in Fund Balance. Special Revenue Fund is accounted for on a spending or “current financial resources” measurement focus and modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when susceptible to accrual; that is, when they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures in the fiscal period. “Available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. For the Fund, revenues and other governmental fund financial resources are recognized if measurable and collectible generally within 60 days following the end of the fiscal year. Expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the fund liability is incurred, if measurable.
D. Cash and Investments
The Fund’s cash balance was pooled with various other City funds for deposit and investment purposes.
The share of each fund in the pooled cash account was separately maintained and interest income was apportioned to the participating funds based on the relationship of their average quarter-end cash balances to the total of the pooled cash and investments.
The Trip Reduction Special Revenue Fund of the City of Corona Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
16 Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) E. Fund Balance
In the fund financial statements, the Fund reports the following fund balance classification:
Restricted – This includes amounts that are constrained on the use of resources by either (a) external creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws of regulations of other governments or (b) by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. The Fund’s restricted fund balance is restricted for trip reduction program governed by AB 2766.
F. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the basic financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2 – Cash and Investments
The Fund’s cash and investments consisted of pooled cash with the City of Corona in the amount of $1,920,223 at June 30, 2024.
Cash is pooled with the City and is considered as cash since the Fund is able to withdraw cash at any time without prior notice or penalty. It has general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. Interest income is allocated based on average cash balances. Investment policies and associated risk factors applicable to the Trip Reduction Special Revenue Fund are those of the City and are included in the City’s basic financial statements.
Note 3 – Commitments and Contingencies
The Fund receives monies from the SCAQMD that are subject to review and audit by the SCAQMD. Although such audits could result in disallowed expenditures under terms of the program’s guidelines, the management believed that any repayments resulting from disallowances will not be material.

Notes to the Appropriations Limit Schedule
For the Year Ending June 30, 2024
4 Note 1 – Purpose of Limited Procedures Review
Under Article XIIIB of the California Constitution (the Gann Spending Limitation Initiative), California governmental agencies are restricted as to the amount of annual appropriations from proceeds of taxes. Effective for years beginning on or after July 1, 1990, under Section 1.5 of Article XIIIB, the annual calculation of the appropriations limit is subject to an agreed upon procedures review in connection with the annual audit.
Note 2 – Method of Calculation
Under Section 10.5 of Article XIIIB, for fiscal years beginning on or after July 1990, the appropriations limit is required to be calculated based on the limit for the fiscal year 1986-87, adjusted for the inflation and population factors discussed in Notes 3 and 4 below.
Note 3 – Population Factors
A California governmental agency may use as its population factor either the annual percentage change of the jurisdiction’s own population or the annual percentage change in population of the county where the jurisdiction is located. The factor adopted by the City for the year ending June 30, 2024, represents the annual percentage change in population for the County.
Note 4 – Inflation Factors
A California governmental agency may use as its inflation factor either the annual percentage change in the 4th quarter per capita personal income (which percentage is supplied by the California Department of Finance) or the percentage change in the local assessment roll from the preceding year due to the change of local nonresidential construction. The factor adopted by the City for the year ending June 30, 2024, represents the annual percentage change for per capita personal income.
Note 5 – Other Adjustments
A California government agency may be required to adjust its appropriations limit when certain events occur, such as the transfer of responsibility for municipal services to, or from, another government agency or private entity. The City had no such adjustments for the year ending June 30, 2024.

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND
OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Independent Auditors Report
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Citizens
of the City of Corona
Corona, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards), the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Corona, California (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Citys basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated November 25, 2024.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Citys internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Citys internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Citys internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Citys financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Citizens
of the City of Corona
Corona, California
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Citys financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entitys internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

To the Honorable Mayor, City Council and Citizens
of the City of Corona
Corona, California
Report on Compliance for the Housing Successor
Opinion on Compliance for the Housing Successor
We have audited Corona Housing Authority, a component unit of the City of Corona, California (the “City”), as the Housing Successor to the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Corona’s (the “Housing Successor”) compliance with the type of compliance requirements described in the California Health and Safety Code sections applicable to the Housing Successor for the year ended June 30, 2024.
In our opinion, the Housing Successor complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that are applicable to Housing Successor for the year ended June 30, 2024.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAS”); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards (“Government Auditing Standards”) issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and California Health and Safety Code sections applicable to the Housing Successor (the “Health and Safety Codes”). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Health and Safety Codes are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the Housing Successor and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Housing Successor's compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the Housing Successor's government programs.
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council and Citizens
of the City of Corona
Corona, California
2 Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the Housing Successor's compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Health and Safety Codes will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the Housing Successor's compliance with the requirements of the government program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Health and Safety Codes, we:
exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the Housing Successor's compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. obtain an understanding of the Housing Successor's internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Health and Safety Codes, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Housing Successor's internal control over compliance.
Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a compliance requirement will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council and Citizens
of the City of Corona
Corona, California
3 Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of Health and Safety Codes.
Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
Report on the Schedule of Excess Surplus
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. We issued our report thereon dated November 25, 2024, which contained unmodified opinions on those financial statements. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the basic financial statements. The accompanying Schedule of Excess Surplus is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain other procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the Schedule of Excess Surplus is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

of the City of Corona
Corona, California
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Corona, California (the City) for the year ended June 30, 2024. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated May 14, 2024. Professional standards also require that we communicate the following information related to our audit.
Significant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the basic financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during 2024. We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on managements knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the Citys financial statements were:
Managements estimate of the investment fair market value is based on information provided by Bank of New York Mellon, the custodian of the investments based on interactive data. We evaluated the methods, assumptions and data used to develop the investment fair market value in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Managements estimate of the depreciation and amortization on capital assets is based on the industry standard and past experience on actual useful life of the asset groups. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the depreciation on capital assets in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council and Citizens
of the City of Corona
Corona, California
Managements estimate of the net pension liabilities is based on the actuarial valuation on total pension liability and based on audited financial statements on fiduciary net position for CalPERS plans. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the net pension liability in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Managements estimate of the net other postemployment benefits (OPEB) liability is based on the actuarial valuation on total OPEB liability and financial statements on fiduciary net position. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the OPEB liability in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting the financial statements were:
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Note 2 Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability
Note 13 Pension Plan
Note 14 Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB)
Note 17 Commitments and Contingencies
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Management has corrected all such misstatements. In addition, none of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to each opinion units financial statements taken as a whole.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditors report.
We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated November 25, 2024.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a second opinion on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the Citys financial statements or a determination of the type of auditors opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council and Citizens
of the City of Corona
Corona, California
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the Citys auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.
Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the Managements Discussion & Analysis, Budgetary Comparison Schedules, Modified Approach for City Streets Infrastructure Capital Assets, the Schedule of Changes in Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, the Schedule of the Citys Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, the Schedules of Contributions Pensions, the Schedules of Changes in Net OPEB Liability and Related Ratios, and Schedules of Contributions Other Postemployment Benefits, which are Required Supplementary Information (RSI) that supplement the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with managements responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
We were engaged to report on the Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.
We were not engaged to report on the Introductory and the Statistical Sections, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.
Restriction on Use
This information is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council and management of the City and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:
SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 2024-0002 AMENDING THE DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION SPECIFIC PLAN (SP98-01) TO COMPREHENSIVELY AMEND THE
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, DESIGN GUIDELINES, AND PUBLIC
STREETSCAPES FOR THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT AND OTHER COMMERCIAL AND BUSINESS PARK DISTRICTS OF THE SPECIFIC PLAN; EXPAND THE
BOUNDARY OF THE SPECIFIC PLAN, SOUTH OF THE SOUTHERLY PORTION OF GRAND BOULEVARD, TO INCLUDE EXISTING RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES;
REPLACE OUTDATED INFORMATION AND CHANGE THE APPEARANCE AND GRAPHICS OF THE SPECIFIC PLAN DOCUMENT (APPLICANT: CITY OF CORONA) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This staff report asks the City Council to approve Specific Plan Amendment 2024-0002 (SPA2024-0002) as recommended by the Planning and Housing Commission amending the Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan. The specific plan amendment reflects the City’s effort to redevelop the Downtown core in and around the aging Corona Mall, and the public streetscape enhancements on Sixth Street within the Grand Boulevard Circle.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council:
a. Approve Specific Plan Amendment 2024-0002, as recommended by the Planning and Housing Commission.
b. Introduce, by title only, and waive full reading of consideration of Ordinance No. 3407, first reading of an ordinance adopting an addendum to the Environmental Impact Report for the Corona General Plan Technical Update (SCH # 2018081039) and the Environmental Impact Report for the Corona Redevelopment/ Downtown Specific Plan (SCH # 97071021), approving an amendment to the Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan (SP98-01) to: (1) comprehensively amend the development standards, design guidelines and public streetscapes; (2) expand the boundaries of the Specific Plan; and (3) amend and add corresponding changes to associated text and exhibits within the Specific Plan (SPA2024-0002).
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
The Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan was adopted in 1998 and encompasses 621 acres. The boundary of the specific plan covers the properties within the Grand Boulevard Circle, certain properties on the outskirts of Grand Boulevard, and along Sixth Street between Lincoln Avenue to the west and the Flood Control Channel to the east. The specific plan zoning consists of residential and various commercial districts including a Downtown District and a business park district.
The Corona General Plan 2020-2040 identifies the City’s Downtown as an opportunity district for redevelopment and includes General Plan Goal LU-17 and Policies LU-17.1 through LU-17.22 related to the redevelopment and image of Downtown.
In 2020, the City’s Economic Development Department prepared a Downtown Revitalization Plan (DRP) and DRP Design Guidelines that reassessed the current condition of Downtown and examined the current market condition related to retail development. The DRP and Design Guidelines outreach involved a public meeting, the distribution of a survey which resulted in 2,400 responses, and discussions at the City Council study sessions. The final DRP and Design Guidelines were presented as a report to the City Council in 2022.
In December 2023, the City’s Planning and Development Department initiated the preparation of an amendment to the Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan, which is the regulatory document that governs the land uses and development standards for the properties located in the specific plan. The amendment to the specific plan is to implement the recommendations of the DRP Design Guidelines in addition to the following: a) amend the development standards and design guidelines, b) expand the boundary of the specific plan to include an additional 497 residential properties located generally south of the southern portion of Grand Boulevard, c) replace outdated
infrastructure information, d) update street sections, e) update the implementation and appendices chapters, f) replace graphics throughout the document, and g) change the format and appearance of the document.
At the beginning of the specific plan amendment process in February/March 2024, stakeholder interviews were conducted with the following groups. Economic Development Department
Public Works
Planning Commissioners (two members)
Private real estate group (Calvert Properties)
Corona Historical Preservation Society
Corona History Association
Corona Regional Medical Center
The specific stakeholder interviews were done as an extension of the outreach efforts already conducted during the DRP process.
Staff presented an overview of the update on the specific plan amendment to the City Council at its study session on September 18, 2024.
SPA2024-0002 was reviewed by the Planning and Housing Commission at its meeting on November 13, 2024, and recommended for approval to the City Council.
ANALYSIS:
Like the existing Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan, the vision for the Downtown remains the same with the proposed amendment. The vision for the Downtown is to function as the heart of the community, be a vibrant, walkable place featuring a complementary mix of uses, feature memorable streetscapes and outdoor gathering spaces, and have new development be respectful of the traditional town center character.
All the chapters in the specific plan were reorganized and updated with new information and graphics. Table 1 describes the outline of the chapters, and the information included in the specific plan.

Chapter 9:
Appendices
Includes a glossary and table of past
specific plan amendments.
Specific Plan Boundary Expansion
The original 1998 specific plan boundary covered 621 acres. The proposed specific plan amendment expands the boundary of the specific plan to include additional residential properties generally located south of the southern portion of Grand Boulevard, increasing the area of the specific plan boundary to 700 acres. These properties represent traditional neighborhoods associated with Corona’s history like other residential neighborhoods within Grand Boulevard. The residential densities of the properties remain the same with the specific plan zoning applied to the properties.
Development Standards
The development standards are separated by the land use districts shown on the Land Use Regulating Plan in Figure 3-1 of the specific plan document. The land use districts include:
Downtown (D)
Transitional Commercial (TC)
General Commercial (GC)
Community Services (CS)
Gateway Business (GB)
Business Park (BP)
Residential Office (RO)
Residential: Single Family (SF), Residential 2 (R2), Multi-Family Residential (MF) Park (P)
School (S)
The development standards regulate the building setbacks, height, and coverage, which are shown in Table 3-2 of the specific plan document. The development standards allow the buildings closer to the front of the sidewalk to encourage sidewalk storefronts, outdoor displays, and outdoor dining.
Multistory Building Stepback
The development standards also include requirements for building stepbacks on the upper floors of a multi-story building adjacent to Sixth Street and a residential zone. The stepback requirements are shown in Tables 3-3 and 3-4 of the specific plan document. If a building is higher than three stories, the fourth floor is required to be stepped back 10 feet from the third floor for at least 70 percent of the building façade facing Sixth Street.
This same scenario applies to the fifth floor with the stepback required from the fourth floor. No additional stepback is required beyond the fifth floor. When a multi-story building is adjacent to a residential zone, the same requirement applies except that it applies to 100 percent of the building façade facing the residential zone.
Other Development Standards
The development standards also include open space requirements, landscape standards, parking requirements and standards, and special use regulations for outdoor dining,
signage, outdoor display of merchandise, mixed use (commercial and residential) and live/work units.
Design Guidelines
The design guidelines for each land use district are separated according to the following categories listed in Chapter 4.
Table 2
Design Guidelines Classification
Name Applicable Land Use Districts
Downtown Core Guidelines D, CS, TC, GB
Commercial Guidelines GC
Light Industrial/Business Park Guidelines BP
General Residential Guidelines RO, SF, R2 and MF
The design guidelines complement the development standards in Chapter 3. The context of the design guidelines is to create visual appeal and architectural diversity that is reminiscent of a traditional downtown environment by using building materials and architectural elements that are historically common in the area.
The design guidelines apply to new development and to the exterior rehabilitation of existing development that will extensively change the appearance of the existing structure or the onsite design of the property. The design guidelines address:
Site planning such as building placement and orientation, the location of parking, circulation, and the location of service areas associated with loading activities and storage.
Building design such as character and quality of materials, façade articulation, location of entrances, transparency, roof design, and building materials. Supplemental guidelines for parking structures, storefront designs, sidewalk dining, and buildings with drive-through services.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
SPA2024-0002 is an application by the City. Therefore, no application fees were paid for the processing of this application.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The City prepared an initial study for the project and has concluded that the project does not include substantial changes to the project analyzed under the 2019 Corona General Plan Technical Update Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2018081039), and the 1998 Corona Redevelopment/Downtown Specific Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 97071021), and none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR exist. Therefore,
according to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, the initial study serves as an Addendum to the 1998 Corona Redevelopment/Downtown Specific Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 97071021), and 2019 Corona General Plan Technical Update Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2018081039).

WHEREAS, on November 13, 2024, the Planning and Housing Commission of the City of Corona (“Planning Commission”) recommended that the City Council of the City of Corona (“City Council”) approve SPA2024-0002, an amendment to the Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan (SP98-01) to comprehensively amend the development standards, design guidelines, and public streetscapes for the Downtown District and other commercial and business park districts of the Specific Plan; expand the boundary of the Specific Plan, south of the southerly portion of Grand Boulevard, to include additional residential properties consistent with the existing residential density of the General Plan; make other corresponding amendments and additions to the text and exhibits within the Specific Plan (the “Amendment”); and WHEREAS, on June 3, 2020, the City Council of the City of Corona (“City”) adopted Resolution No. 2020-036 certifying a Final Environmental Impact Report for the Corona General Plan Technical Update (SCH # 2018081039) (“General Plan EIR”), made findings of fact and adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; and
WHEREAS, on June 17, 1998, the former Redevelopment Agency of the City Corona adopted Resolution No. 98-09 certifying a Final Environmental Impact Report for the Corona Redevelopment/Downtown Specific Plan (SCH # 97071021) (“Specific Plan EIR”), made findings of fact and adopted a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; and WHEREAS, in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Res. Code Section 21000 et seq.), together with the State Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. Section 15000 et seq.) and local guidelines implementing said Act (collectively, “CEQA”), the City prepared an environmental evaluation to analyze the
2 potential environmental impacts associated with the Amendment and determine whether such impacts were adequately addressed in the General Plan EIR and the Specific Plan EIR. The evaluation indicated that the Amendment will not result in impacts beyond what was previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR and the Specific Plan EIR, will not require additional mitigation measures not otherwise included in the General Plan EIR and Specific Plan EIR because the Amendment will not have new or substantially more severe significant environmental impacts and none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR has occurred. Therefore, the City prepared an addendum to the General Plan EIR and the Specific Plan EIR for the Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan Update (“Addendum”), attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission based its recommendation to adopt the Amendment on the findings set forth below and the adoption of the Addendum; and WHEREAS, on December 4, 2024, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing at which all persons wishing to testify in connection with the Amendment were heard and the Amendment was comprehensively reviewed.

1. The Amendment will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the General Plan EIR or the Specific Plan EIR;
3 2. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the General Plan EIR or the Specific Plan EIR;
3. Mitigation measures previously found to be infeasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the Amendment; or
4. Mitigation measures which are considerably different from those analyzed in the General Plan EIR or the Specific Plan EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment.
SECTION 2. Adoption of Addendum to General Plan EIR and Specific Plan EIR. The City Council hereby approves and adopts the Addendum to the General Plan EIR and Specific Plan EIR prepared for the Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan Update.

1. INTRODUCTION
This Initial Study (IS) evaluates potential environmental effects associated with the proposed Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan Update (SPU) (“the Project”).
The Project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Therefore, this document has been prepared in compliance with the relevant provisions of CEQA (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) and the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, California Code of Regulations, Section 15000 et seq.) as implemented by the City of Corona (City) as the Lead Agency.
CEQA was enacted with several basic purposes: (1) to inform governmental decision makers and the public about the potential significant environmental effects of proposed projects; (2) to identify ways that environmental damage can be avoided or significantly reduced; (3) to prevent significant, avoidable damage to the environment by requiring changes in projects through the use of feasible alternatives or mitigation measures; and (4) to disclose to the public the reasons for a project approval when significant environmental effects are anticipated.
An IS is a preliminary analysis conducted by the Lead Agency, in consultation with other agencies (responsible or trustee agencies, as applicable), to determine whether there is substantial evidence that a project may have a significant effect on the environment. If the IS concludes that the Project, with mitigation, may have a significant effect on the environment, an Environmental Impact Report should be prepared.
Based on the analysis provided within this IS, the City has concluded that the Project does not include substantial changes to the project analyzed under the 2019 Corona General Plan Technical Update Draft Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2018081039), and the 1998 Corona Redevelopment/Downtown Specific Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 97071021), and none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR has occurred. Therefore, the City, as CEQA Lead Agency may approve this IS as an Addendum to the 1998 Corona Redevelopment/Downtown Specific Plan Final Program Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 97071021), and 2019 Corona General Plan Technical Update Draft Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2018081039) in compliance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164.
2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
PROJECT LOCATION
The City of Corona is located in northwestern Riverside County (see Figure 1). It is centrally located with respect to Orange County, Ontario International Airport, and downtown Riverside, and is served by Interstate 15 and State Route 91.
iv
SPECIFIC PLAN AREA
Planning Area Boundary: The Specific Plan boundary (“planning area”) encompasses approximately 700 acres (just over 1.1 square miles), generally centered on the intersection of Sixth Street and Main Street at the heart of the Grand Boulevard Circle. Largely situated within a three-quarter (3/4) mile radius of this intersection, which approximately represents a 15 to 20-minute walking radius. The planning area also takes in an area that may be described as the “Greater Downtown” which runs along the Sixth Street commercial corridor from Lincoln Avenue on the west to the Temescal Wash on the east and extends along Main Street from the Grand Boulevard Circle, slightly north of the Riverside Freeway, to West Burr Street to the south.
Boundary Expansion: The Specific Plan boundaries as described, represent an expansion of the boundaries established in the Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan as initially adopted. This expansion is based on community input received during the DRP planning process, and its analysis of existing conditions which evaluated strengths and weaknesses of the Downtown, its area of influence and properties in need of improvement. The expanded boundaries primarily take in residential properties south of the Grand Boulevard Circle. These properties represent traditional neighborhoods associated with Corona’s history which is similar to other residential neighborhoods within Grand Boulevard.
SPECIFIC PLAN PURPOSE
The intent of the updated Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan is to implement the vision for Downtown as refined and established by the General Plan 2020 -2040 and the Downtown Revitalization Plan, addressing changing conditions and evolving opportunities. More specifically, the Specific Plan formulates policies; designates and regulates land uses; establishes developments standards and design guidelines; presents a framework for the design of streets and public space; and describes strategies and actions to revitalize the area. The overall major objectives of the Specific Plan are as follows:
1. Promote Downtown as the compelling heart of the community, the governmental, cultural, commercial, social, and recreational hub of the community.
2. Provide an environment for local history, arts, and culture to flourish and become an integral and cherished feature of Downtown.
3. Stimulate economic development and reinvestment in the Downtown.
4. Support economic activity compatible with the character and scale of the traditional downtown environment.
5. Encourage high-quality development that will achieve the vision of the General Plan 2020 - 2040 and the Downtown Corona Revitalization Plan.
6. Establish place-based zoning regulations and design guidelines that promote development and design compatible with their surroundings.
7. Create a pedestrian friendly environment, encompassing enhanced streetscapes and engaging public outdoor spaces.
v
8. Preserve and enhance Downtown’s residential neighborhoods, including the preservation and restoration of historic homes, while accommodating new housing that is in keeping with the traditional character of the neighborhood.
9. Identify and provide needed public facilities and community amenities.
AUTHORITY
The Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan is established through the authority granted to the City of Corona by the California Government Code, Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 8, Sections 65450 through 65457 (Specific Plans).
The Specific Plan will serve as the regulatory document governing zoning, development standards, and permitted land uses. Where the specific plan is silent, the provisions of the Zoning Code in Title 17 of the Corona Municipal Code shall prevail.
The Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan will also align with other master plans of the city, including but not limited to the General Plan, storm drain master plan, water master plan, sewer master plan and bicycle master plan. The Specific Plan may be amended to further systematic implementation of the Corona General Plan.

I AESTHETICS. Would the Project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including,
but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and
historic buildings within a state scenic highway?
c) In non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the
existing visual character or quality of public views
of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are
those that are experienced from publicly accessible
vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized
area, would the project conflict with applicable
zoning and other regulations governing scenic
quality?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare
that would adversely affect day or nighttime views
in the area?
a)-c) The City of Corona benefits from a wide variety of scenic vistas. The wide-open vistas are associated with natural features that dominate the visual image of the City. Internally, the visual elements of major arterials, such as Grand Boulevard, provide unique vistas that characterize individual neighborhoods. Significant vistas include:
▪ The Prado Basin views from Sierra del Oro, which encompass the basin on the south and canyon areas on the west. This view is also seen from Highway 71 near the intersection of State Route 91.
▪ The view south to the Santa Ana Mountains from the I-15/SR-91 freeway interchange. ▪ The southern view of the foothills from major north-south streets south of Ontario Avenue. ▪ The views of the San Gabriel Mountains from the higher elevations south of Ontario Avenue.
Eagle Glen in eastern Corona provides views of scenic vistas in the City. Eagle Glen Parkway runs along the top of the west slope of Eagle Glen. Another scenic road is Palisades Drive/Green River Road south of the SR-71/SR-91 interchange. This corridor passes through a narrow canyon slot. Views from South Corona, including Ontario Avenue and Foothill Boulevard that traverse the higher slope areas, provide views looking north. This includes the Prado Basin on the west and the hills and valleys leading to the San Bernardino Mountains in the north and east.
Visual resources in the City and SOI include scenic mountain views, and scenic corridors.
City of Corona Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan Update 2024 2 ▪ Scenic Mountain Views. Corona features scenic mountain views of Chino Hills State Park and Prado Basin to the northwest, San Bernardino Mountains to the north, Cleveland National Forest to the west, Santa Ana Mountains to the south, and Gavilan Hills to the east. The Santa Ana and San Bernardino Mountains and Chino Hills are visible from all parts of the City and dominate most viewsheds from within the City except views to the north, which provide sweeping views of the heavily vegetated Prado Basin. The mountains frame the views of the City from the major entry points along SR-91 to the east and west, and I-15 from the north and south. The rural environment and open space areas in the far southern and eastern portions of Corona afford its residents clear views of scenic and natural resources. ▪ Scenic Corridors. There are no officially designated state scenic highways in the City.
However, SR-72, I-15, and the portion of SR-91 west of the SR-91/I-15 interchange are designated eligible to be state scenic highways, according to the California Scenic Highway Mapping System (Caltrans 2024). The General Plan Update identifies six locally designated scenic highways in the City as well as the three state-eligible scenic highways as “scenic corridors” in the City and SOI. Land uses near I-15 and SR-91 and the scenic corridors listed predominantly include industrial, commercial, single-family residential, multifamily residential, vacant land, office, educational facilities, public open space/parks, and religious facilities. Views from these scenic corridors include the City’s historic core, estates, and associated landscaping and mature trees; the Santa Ana Mountains; the low foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains; the Chino Hills and the preserved hillsides on the western edge of Chino Hills State Park; the Santa Ana Canyon; Temescal Valley; and the Gavilan Plateau.
The Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan encompasses the origin of the city which is urbanized with residential and nonresidential land uses and public infrastructure. Like the existing specific plan, the Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan Update (SPU) includes design guidelines that are to heighten the visual appeal of the Downtown, promote designs and building materials that are reminiscent of Corona’s past, promote proportionate façade details, and beautify the appearance of public streetscapes using a consistent planting of street trees. New developments, other than residential projects having less than five units, resulting from the SPU implementation will be subject to discretionary design review by the Corona Planning and Housing Commission. The design guidelines of the SPU guide project proponents on the required design standards for new buildings and rehabilitation projects that will extensively change the existing appearance of the building. The design guidelines communicate the City’s required qualities and characteristics of development, which are intended to promote development that is compatible with Corona's vision for Downtown. The SPU, when adopted, will regulate and guide future development, including landscaping and public infrastructure within the boundary of the specific plan. Therefore, the project will have no impacts on scenic vistas, scenic resources, or visual character.
d) Sources of light and glare in the City include building lighting (interior and exterior), security lighting, sign illumination, ballfield lighting and parking-area lighting. These sources are mostly associated with the residential, commercial, and industrial uses and the larger community parks in the more developed areas of the City. Other sources of nighttime light and glare include streetlights, vehicular traffic along surrounding roadways, and ambient lighting from surrounding communities.
City of Corona Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan Update 2024 3 Sources of light and glare from new developments, residents, and employees would include lighting needed to provide nighttime street and building illumination, security lighting, traffic sign illumination, lighting in parking areas, lighting associated with construction activities, and ambient lighting from surrounding communities. This would likely introduce new significant sources of light and glare. However, development and redevelopment projects in the City would be required to comply with Specific Plan lighting guidelines and the residential and commercial and industrial landscape design guidelines, which consider accent lighting and lighting in the City’s landscape assessment districts. Chapter 17.76 of the municipal code ensures that lighting in parking areas is designed and arranged to minimize the effects of spill light and indicates that all exterior lighting be directed downward to minimize spillover onto adjacent properties, sensitive land uses, and open space areas.
The SPU includes updated development standards, and design guidelines for both private development and the public realm to implement the vision of the plan. The SPU does not change the land use designations (zoning), the General Plan designations, or the allowable land uses. The SPU will expand the southern boundary of the specific plan to include 497 parcels that are zoned single family and low-density multiple family residential, mostly consisting of existing residential units with vacant infill parcels scattered throughout. The residential neighborhoods are characteristic of Downtown Corona and contain several properties that are listed as local historic landmarks. The zoning and General Plan designations of the added parcels will remain the same. New development, other than residential projects having less than five units, resulting from the SPU implementation will be subject to discretionary design review by the Corona Planning and Housing Commission. Development will be required to meet the goals, objectives, policies, development standards, and design guidelines that will be implemented by the SPU.
Therefore, the proposed SPU is not growth inducing beyond the land uses already allowed by the specific plan and General Plan and will not impact aesthetic resources.

II AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES. In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997), prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. Would the Project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or
Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland),
as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of
the California Resources Agency, to
nonagricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural
use, or a Williamson Act contract?
c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause
rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public
City of Corona Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan Update 2024 4 Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as
defined by Public Resources Code section 4526),
or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as
defined by Government Code section 51104(g))?
d) Result in the loss of forestland or conversion of
forestland to non-forest use?
e) Involve other changes in the existing environment,
which due to their location or nature, could result
in conversion of Farmland to nonagricultural use
or conversion of forestland to non-forest use?
a)-e) None of the land located within the boundaries of the SPU is designated as farmland for agricultural use or timberland for forestry use. According to the California Department of Conservation Important Farmland Finder, all the land located within the boundaries of the SPU is designated as Urban and Built-Up Land. Furthermore, the GPEIR states – “Due to significant development over the past 50 years, Corona no longer has any agricultural preserves within its incorporated boundary.”
The Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan Update (SPU) includes updated development standards, and design guidelines for both private development and the public realm to implement the vision of the plan. The SPU does not change the land use designations (zoning), the General Plan designations, or the allowable land uses. The SPU will expand the southern boundary of the specific plan to include 497 parcels that are zoned single family and low-density multiple family residential, mostly consisting of existing residential units with vacant infill parcels scattered throughout. The residential neighborhoods are characteristic of Downtown Corona and contain several properties that are listed as local historic landmarks. The zoning and General Plan designations of the added parcels will remain the same. New development, other than residential projects having less than five units, resulting from the SPU implementation will be subject to discretionary design review by the Corona Planning and Housing Commission. Development will be required to meet the goals, objectives, policies, development standards, and design guidelines that will be implemented by the SPU. Therefore, the proposed SPU is not growth inducing beyond the land uses already allowed by the specific plan and General Plan and will not impact farmland or forestland.

III AIR QUALITY. Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the Project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the
applicable air quality plan?
b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase
of any criteria pollutant for which the project
region is non-attainment under an applicable
federal or state ambient air quality standard?
City of Corona Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan Update 2024 5 c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
d) Result in substantial emissions (such as odors or
dust) adversely affecting a substantial number of
people?
a)-d) The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) has adopted regional construction and operational emissions thresholds to determine a project’s cumulative impact on air quality in the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB). Table 5.3-6, SCAQMD Significance Thresholds, lists thresholds that are applicable for all projects uniformly regardless of size or scope (Appendix A). Potential SPU impacts would be significant if: (1) they cause an exceedance of any Ambient Air Quality Standards for Criteria Pollutants (AAQS) or (2) are inconsistent with the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). The daily SCAQMD significance thresholds are not used as criteria for this analysis since only specific development projects can be analyzed in terms of their conformity with the daily SCAQMD emission significance thresholds.
The Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan Update (SPU) includes updated development standards, and design guidelines for both private development and the public realm to implement the vision of the plan. The SPU does not change the land use designations (zoning), the General Plan designations, or the allowable land uses. The SPU will expand the southern boundary of the specific plan to include 497 parcels that are zoned single family and low-density multiple family residential, mostly consisting of existing residential units with vacant infill parcels scattered throughout.

IV BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the Project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species
identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special
status species in local or regional plans, policies,
or regulations, or by the California Department of
Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service?
City of Corona Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan Update 2024 6 b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian
habitat or other sensitive natural community
identified in local or regional plans, policies or
regulations or by the California Department of
Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service?
c) Have a substantial adverse effect on state or
federally protected wetlands (including, but not
limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.)
through direct removal, filling, hydrological
interruption, or other means?
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any
native resident or migratory fish or wildlife
species or with established native resident or
migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of
native wildlife nesting sites?
e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances
protecting biological resources, such as a tree
preservation policy or ordinance?
f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat
Conservation Plan, Natural Community
Conservation Plan, or other approved local,
regional, or state habitat conservation plan?
a)-f) No unique, rare, or endangered animal species live within the SPU boundaries. No sensitive species will be affected by redevelopment activities. The relative lack of vegetation and native forage in most of the Project Area renders it relatively valueless to wildlife. For example, birds are less diverse in the Project Area, composed primarily of species common to and adapted to urbanized areas. The City participates in the regional habitat conservation plans identified above to protect its biological resources. In addition, the City’s municipal code includes regulations to contribute to the protection of biological resources in the City or region. The following is a summary of these regulations in the Corona Municipal Code.
Chapter 16.33, MSHCP Mitigation Fee
The purpose and intent of the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) chapter is to establish a development mitigation fee to: a) help fund the maintenance of biological diversity and the natural ecosystem processes that support this diversity; b) protect vegetation communities and natural areas within the City and western Riverside County which are known to support threatened, endangered, or key sensitive populations of plant and wildlife species; and c) maintain economic development within the City and the region through the implementation of a system of reserves that will provide for permanent open space, community edges, and habitat conservation for species covered by the MSHCP. The MSHCP requires that individuals, businesses, and public agencies proposing development in the “criteria area” of the MSHCP obtain approval from the Regional Conservation Authority and a permit from the local responsible agency. Projects that are approved must pay fees for review and construction of the project. Fee Ordinance 2678 and Resolution 2003-141 in Chapter 16.33 of the municipal code describes this process.
City of Corona Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan Update 2024 7 Chapter 12.22, Community Forestry Program
Chapter 12.22 of the municipal code recognizes, designates, and protects landmark trees.
Pursuant to the municipal code, the City Council can designate a tree as a "landmark tree" on City property if it meets certain criteria adopted by resolution of the council. The municipal code restricts permanent removal of landmark trees except for emergency situations.
The land within the SPU boundaries consists of intensively developed urban areas. Vegetation within the SPU boundaries is limited to non-native, introduced, and ornamental species that are used for landscaping. According to the General Plan Update EIR, Figure 5.4.1, Western Riverside County MSHCP Criteria Cells and Subunits, Figure 5.4-2, Conservation Land, Figure
5.4-3, Designated Critical Habitat, and Figure 5.4-5, Drainages and Associated Riparian Vegetation Communities, do not include the SPU boundary. As such animal life mostly consists of common bird, reptile, and mammal species that typically live in proximity to man. To prevent impacts on migratory birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the California Fish and Game Code, the General Plan Update EIR already includes Mitigation Measure BIO-7, which requires preconstruction general nesting bird surveys and avoidance impacts to active nests of bird species protected by federal and state laws.
Future development and the rehabilitation of existing buildings and properties resulting from the SPU will introduce non-native landscaping and plant materials commonly associated with urban development. Non-native landscaping, however, will not have the effect of displacing or harming any sensitive plant species since none have been identified to exist within the SPU limits.
The SPU includes updated development standards, and design guidelines for both private development and the public realm to implement the vision of the plan. The SPU does not change the land use designations (zoning), the General Plan designations, or allowable land uses. The SPU will expand the southern boundary of the specific plan to include 497 parcels that are zoned single family and low-density multiple family residential, mostly consisting of existing residential units with vacant infill parcels scattered throughout. The residential neighborhoods are characteristic of Downtown Corona and contain several properties that are listed as local historic landmarks. The zoning and General Plan designations of the added parcels will remain the same. New development, other than residential projects having less than five units, resulting from the SPU implementation will be subject to discretionary design review by the Corona Planning and Housing Commission. Development will be required to meet the goals, objectives, policies, development standards, and design guidelines that will be implemented by the SPU.
Therefore, the proposed SPU is not growth inducing beyond the land uses already allowed by the specific plan and General Plan and will not impact biological resources.

V CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the Project:
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the
significance of a historical resource pursuant to
Public Resources Code Section 21084.1 and
CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5, respectively?
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the
significance of an archaeological resource as
defined in Public Resources Code Section 21083.2
and 21084.1, and CEQA Guidelines Section
15064.5, respectively?
c) Disturb any Native American tribal cultural
resources or human remains, including those
interred outside of dedicated cemeteries?
a)-c) Cultural resources include archaeological and historical resources. A discussion of tribal cultural resources can be found in Tribal Cultural Resources section of this Initial Study.
Archaeology studies human artifacts such as places, objects, and settlements that reflect group or individual religious, cultural, or everyday activities. Historical resources include sites, structures, objects, or places that are at least 50 years old and are significant for their engineering, architecture, and cultural use or association, etc. In California, historic resources cover human activities over the past 12,000 years. Cultural resources provide information on scientific progress, environmental adaptations, group ideology, or other human advancements. This section of the Initial Study evaluates the SPU project’s potential impact on cultural resources.
The City has a Historical Resources Ordinance, CMC Chapter 17.63, which defines historical resources, establishes the criteria for the listing of local landmarks, and the preservation requirements associated with the modification of historical resources. The Corona Register of Historic Resources and the Corona Heritage Inventory comprise listings of buildings, structures, sites, and features of local significance, civic identity, and character. These include landmarks and historic districts, and heritage inventory properties that are eligible to be nominated as a local landmark. To date, 545 properties are listed on the city’s Heritage Inventory with 50 properties designated as local landmarks and 10 historic districts. There are seven properties in the city also listed on the National Register of Historic Resources.
Like the existing specific plan boundary, the SPU boundary contains several local landmarks and heritage inventory properties. Two notable historic districts, City Park and Grand Boulevard, are also within the boundary of the SPU. Future development or redevelopment within the SPU boundary does not eliminate the historic resources requirements of CMC Chapter 17.63.
Additionally, the SPU does not eliminate or diminish historical resources. If alterations to historic resources occur, the City must determine whether the proposed project will result in a substantial adverse change to a significant historic resource such that the qualities that make the resource significant are impaired or lost. Any resource listed in, or eligible for listing in, the
City of Corona Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan Update 2024 9 California Register of Historical Resources is presumed to be historically or culturally significant. Buildings and other historic resources protected from adverse changes by local regulations such as a historic district designation or historic preservation ordinance may logically be expected not to suffer such changes if the project complies with those regulations. Where such protective regulations exist, or where mitigating conditions of approval are imposed, the initial study for the future development of a project's CEQA clearance may cite them as evidence that no impact will occur, or that any impacts will be mitigated to a level of insignificance. Either a Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration could be adopted under those circumstances. As a result, implementation of the SPU would have a less than significant impact on cultural resources.

VI ENERGY. Would the Project:
a) Result in a potentially significant environmental
impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary
consumption of energy, or wasteful use of energy
resources, during project construction or
operation?
b) Conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for
renewable energy or energy efficiency?
a-b) The City of Corona’s initial Climate Action Plan 2012 (CAP) provided direction for the reduction of GHG emissions from the following sources under the City’s jurisdiction according to the City’s land use decisions from the General Plan. ▪ Households (residential)
▪ Jobs (commercial and industrial energy)
▪ Service Population (solid waste, water, wastewater and off-road sources) ▪ Vehicle Miles Traveled (transportation: gasoline and diesel).
The 2012 CAP provided measures to meet the goal of reducing community GHG emissions to a level 20 percent below projected business-as-usual emissions for 2020 while meeting the state’s goal of reducing GHG emissions to 1990 levels by Year 2020. The city’s baseline year for 1990 levels was 2008 in the 2012 CAP. The target was to reduce GHG emissions 15 percent below 2008 levels as recommended in the state’s AB 32 Scoping Plan. In 2019 the city updated its CAP in conjunction with the General Plan Update. The 2019 CAP showed greenhouse gas emissions reduced by approximately 35 percent from the city’s 2008 emission levels, meeting the city’s projected reduction from the 2012 CAP.
The 2019 CAP continues to focus on GHG reduction measures to meet the city’s GHG reduction goals for 2030 and 2040. The targeted reduction goal is 49% below 2008 levels by 2030 and 66% below 2008 levels by 2040. The community GHG reduction strategies and emission
City of Corona Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan Update 2024 10 reductions include the following energy efficiency goals and measures provided in Table ES-3 of Corona’s 2019 CAP.
Goals and Measures

5.2: Exceed Water Efficiency Standards
Goal 6: Decrease Energy Demand through Reducing Urban Heat Island Effect per Title 24 Requirements
6.1: Tree Planting for Shading and Energy Saving
6.2: Light-Reflecting Surfaces for Energy Saving
The SPU includes updated development standards, and design guidelines for both private development and the public realm to implement the vision of the plan. The SPU does not change the land use designations (zoning), the General Plan designations, or the allowable land uses. The SPU will expand the southern boundary of the specific plan to include 497 parcels that are zoned single family and low-density multiple family residential, mostly consisting of existing residential units with vacant infill parcels scattered throughout. The residential neighborhoods are characteristic of Downtown Corona and contain several properties that are listed as local historic landmarks. The zoning and General Plan designations of the added parcels will remain the same. New development, other than residential projects having less than five units, resulting from the SPU implementation will be subject to discretionary design review by the Corona Planning and Housing Commission. Development will be required to meet the goals, objectives, policies, development standards, and design guidelines that will be implemented by the SPU.
Therefore, the proposed SPU is not growth inducing beyond the land uses already allowed by the specific plan and General Plan and will not impact energy resources.

VIIGEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the Project:
a) Directly or indirectly cause potential substantial
adverse effects, including the risk of injury,
damage or death involving:
i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as
delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo
Earthquake Fault Map issued by the State
Geologist for the area or based upon on other
substantial evidence of a known fault?
ii) Strong seismic ground shaking?
iii) Seismic-related ground failure, including
liquefaction?
iv) Landslides?
b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of
topsoil?
c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is
unstable, or that would become unstable as a result
of the project, and potentially result in on- or offsite landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse?
d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table
18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994),
creating substantial direct or indirect risks to life
or property?
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the
use of septic tanks or alternative waste water
disposal systems where sewers are not available
for the disposal of waste water?
f) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique
paleontological resource or site or unique geologic
feature?
a) i-iv) The Seismic Safety and Public Safety Element of the General Plan identifies two primary faults of concern to the City of Corona. The Elsinore fault zone is one of the largest in southern California. At its northern end, the Elsinore fault zone splays into two segments, the Chino fault and the Whittier fault. Though the Chino fault is considered "potentially active”, and the General Plan recommends that a Hazard Management Zone be established along this fault, no AlquistPriolo Earthquake Fault Zones exist within the SPU boundaries and surface fault rupture is not currently a potential impact within the SPU boundaries.
Although the boundary of the SPU is urbanized and contains an existing residential and service level population, redevelopment will increase the number of persons within the Plan’s geographically defined area. Seismic hazards pose a greater risk when people are assembled in an area of a potentially active fault, but risk can also be associated with an area located outside of a fault zone due to earth movement. New development is required to adhere to the state’s Building Standards under the California Building Code to minimize damage to property during a seismic event. The SPU in addition to the Building and Construction Standards in Title 15 of the
City of Corona Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan Update 2024 12 Corona Municipal Code, requires building permits for new construction and various modifications to existing buildings. Therefore, the SPU will result in less than significant impacts related to risks associated with geology and soils. b)-e) The topography in the boundary of the SPU is relatively level with no hillsides subject to landslides, mudslides, or soil erosion. The area is also removed from any drainage courses through which soil erosion could find passage. No landslides, mudslides, or soil erosion are anticipated.
Grading will not result in unstable earth conditions, particularly since such conditions are a function of subsurface geologic and slope conditions. Since the boundary of the SPU is limited to relatively flat topography, no undercutting of slopes or weakening of artificial buttresses will result during future project construction activities. Since the area contains little topographic relief, no grading will occur in areas over 10 percent slope. Therefore, the SPU will result in a less than significant impact related to soil erosion and unstable soils. f) No unique geologic features are known to exist in the boundary of the SPU, since the area is mostly built out. The SPU includes updated development standards, and design guidelines for both private development and the public realm to implement the vision of the plan. The SPU does not change the land use designations (zoning), the General Plan designations, or the allowable land uses. The SPU will expand the southern boundary of the specific plan to include 497 parcels that are zoned single family and low-density multiple family residential, mostly consisting of existing residential units with vacant infill parcels scattered throughout. The residential neighborhoods are characteristic of Downtown Corona and contain several properties that are listed as local historic landmarks. The zoning and General Plan designations of the added parcels will remain the same. New development, other than residential projects having less than five units, resulting from the SPU implementation will be subject to discretionary design review by the Corona Planning and Housing Commission. Development will be required to meet the goals, objectives, policies, development standards, and design guidelines that will be implemented by the SPU. Therefore, the proposed SPU is not growth inducing beyond the land uses already allowed by the specific plan and General Plan and will not impact geology and soils.

VIII GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. Would the Project:
a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either
directly or indirectly, that may have a significant
impact on the environment?
b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or
regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the
emissions of greenhouse gases?
City of Corona Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan Update 2024 13 a)-b) The General Plan Draft Environmental Impact Report (GPDEIR) evaluated the potential for implementation of the City of Corona General Plan Technical Update (General Plan Update) and Climate Action Plan (CAP) to cumulatively contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions impacts. This evaluation is based on the methodology recommended by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). Because no single project is large enough to result in a measurable increase in global concentrations of GHG emissions, climate change impacts of a project are considered on a cumulative basis. The analysis in this section is based on buildout of the proposed project, as modeled using the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) Emissions Factor Model (EMFAC2017), the Off-Road Emissions Factor Model (OFFROAD2017), energy use provided by Southern California Edison (SCE), Corona Department of Water and Power, and the Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas), and trip generation and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) provided by Fehr & Peers.
The City of Corona’s initial Climate Action Plan 2012 (CAP) provided direction for the reduction of GHG emissions from the following sources under the City’s jurisdiction according to the City’s land use decisions from the General Plan. ▪ Households (residential)
▪ Jobs (commercial and industrial energy)
▪ Service Population (solid waste, water, wastewater and off-road sources) ▪ Vehicle Miles Traveled (transportation: gasoline and diesel).
The 2012 CAP provided measures to meet the goal of reducing community GHG emissions to a level 20 percent below projected business-as-usual emissions for 2020 while meeting the state’s goal of reducing GHG emissions to 1990 levels by Year 2020. The city’s baseline year for 1990 levels was 2008 in the 2012 CAP. The target was to reduce GHG emissions 15 percent below 2008 levels as recommended in the state’s AB 32 Scoping Plan. In 2019 the city updated its CAP in conjunction with the General Plan Update. The 2019 CAP showed greenhouse gas emissions reduced by approximately 35 percent from the city’s 2008 emission levels, meeting the city’s projected reduction from the 2012 CAP.
The 2019 CAP continues to focus on GHG reduction measures to meet the city’s GHG reduction goals for 2030 and 2040. The targeted reduction goal is 49% below 2008 levels by 2030 and 66% below 2008 levels by 2040. The community GHG reduction strategies and emission reductions are provided in Table ES-3 of Corona’s 2019 CAP.
The SCAQMD identified a screening-level threshold of 3,000 MTCO2e annually for all land use types. This interim bright-line screening-level criteria is based on a review of the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research database of CEQA projects. Based on their review of 711 CEQA projects, 90 percent of CEQA projects would exceed the bright-line threshold. Therefore, projects that do not exceed the bright-line threshold would have a nominal, and therefore, less than cumulatively considerable impact on GHG emissions. Between the three identified thresholds, SCAQMD recommends use of the 3,000 MTCO2e interim bright-line screening-level criterion for all project types (SCAQMD 2010b).
City of Corona Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan Update 2024 14 According to Table 5.8-6 of the General Plan Update EIR, buildout of the General Plan land uses in the City and Sphere of Influence would result in a net decrease of 57,249 MTCO2e of GHG emissions (4.6 percent decrease in GHG emissions) from existing conditions and would not exceed the 3,000 MTCO2e SCAQMD bright-line screening threshold. Therefore, SPU will not have an impact on Greenhouse Gas emissions.

IX HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Would the Project:
a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the
environment through the routine transport, use,
emission or disposal of hazardous materials?
b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the
environment through reasonably foreseeable upset
and accident conditions involving the release of
hazardous materials into the environment?
c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or
acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste
within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed
school?
d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of
hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to
Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a
result, would it create a significant hazard to the
public or the environment?
e) For a project located within an airport land use
plan area or, where such a plan has not been
adopted, within 2 miles of a public airport or a
public use airport, result in a safety hazard or
excessive noise for people residing or working in
the project area?
f) Impair implementation of or physically interfere
with an adopted emergency response plan or
emergency evacuation plan?
g) Expose people or structures, either directly or
indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury or
death involving wildland fires?
a) In Corona, hazardous materials and wastes are transported on the SR-91 and I-15. Notably, the City has no direct authority to regulate the transport of hazardous materials on federal and state highways or rail lines. Construction in accordance with the SPU would involve demolition, grading, and construction of new buildings. Potentially hazardous materials used during construction include substances such as paints, sealants, solvents, adhesives, cleaners, and diesel fuel. There is potential for these materials to spill or to create hazardous conditions. However, the materials used would not be in such quantities or stored in such a manner as to pose a significant safety hazard. These activities would also be short term or one time in nature.
Therefore, there will be no impact.
b) The SPU would allow for the redevelopment of a variety of land uses, including residential, commercial, office, civic, and open space uses. Operation of the future uses that would be
City of Corona Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan Update 2024 15 accommodated would involve the use of small quantities of hazardous materials for cleaning and maintenance purposes, such as paints, cleaners, solvents, fertilizers, and pesticides. The use, storage, transport, and disposal of hazardous materials by future residents and commercial and industrial tenants/owners would be required to comply with existing regulations of several agencies, including the California Department of Toxic Substances Control, US Environmental Protection Agency, California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, California Department of Transportation, and Riverside County Fire Department. Therefore, there will be no impact.
c)-d) According to the EnviroStor database (2024), the following hazardous sites are located less than one-quarter mile from an existing school.

Any development, redevelopment, or reuse permitted by the SPU on or next to hazardous materials sites would require an environmental site assessment by a qualified professional to ensure that the relevant projects would not disturb hazardous materials sites or plumes of hazardous materials diffusing from one of the hazardous materials sites, and that any proposed
City of Corona Downtown Revitalization Specific Plan Update 2024 16 development, redevelopment, or reuse would not create a substantial hazard to the public or the environment. Each development project involving a purchase or lease would have a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) conducted for its project site. Those ESAs identifying recognized environmental conditions would recommend Phase II ESAs consisting of sampling and testing of soil, soil vapor, and/or groundwater for hazardous materials; and human health risk assessments based on concentrations of hazardous materials identified. Where Phase II ESAs identified substantial human health risks, remediation of hazardous materials would be recommended before the City of Corona would issue building permits for the affected projects.
Therefore, impacts will be less than significant.
e) Airport operations and their accompanying noise and safety hazards require careful land-use planning on adjacent and nearby lands to protect the residential and business communities in Corona from the potential hazards that could be created by airport operations. Pursuant to Section 21096 of the Public Resources Code, the lead agency must consider whether the SPU will result in a safety hazard or noise problem for persons using the airport or for persons residing or working in the project area. Therefore, airport land-use planning and consistency with the 2004 Riverside County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) for the Corona Municipal Airport was completed and determined that the northern boundaries of the SPU are
1.97-miles from the boundaries of the ALUCP. However, the SPU boundaries do not fall within or encroach upon the ALUC Safety Zones for the Corona Municipal Airport, and therefore will not result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working within the SPU boundaries. Therefore, there will be no impact.
f) Project implementation will not result in impacts to the City's emergency response and/or evacuation planning programs. Any future projects proposed within the SPU boundaries will be consistent with the Safety Element of the Corona General Plan. This component of the City's General Plan addresses concerns including natural hazards (e.g., earthquakes, flooding, fires, etc.) and community services (e.g., police protection and emergency disaster relief services). The City adopted goals to promote public safety, including the provision of adequate levels of police and fire protection throughout the SPU area. It is incumbent upon the City to mitigate any deficiencies in the emergency disaster services and to ensure that they are designed to function adequately during and after a disaster or emergency event. Future development and/or redevelopment that is consistent with the adopted SPU will be constructed to not interfere with existing or planned emergency response and evacuation programs. Therefore, there will be no impact.
g) The SPU is located entirely within a fully urbanized area and is not within a CalFire hazard severity zone. No wilderness or chaparral areas are present; therefore, no wildfire risk is anticipated with the SPU. Additionally, no aspect of the SPU would create a fire risk where none currently exists. Therefore, there will be no impact.

X HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY. Would the Project:
a) Violate any water quality standards or waste
discharge requirements or otherwise substantially
degrade surface or ground water quality?
b) Substantially decrease groundwater supplies or
interfere substantially with groundwater recharge
such that the project may impede sustainable
groundwater management of the basin?
c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of
the course or a stream or river or through the
addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner that
would:
i) result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or
off-site?
ii) substantially increase the rate or amount of
surface runoff in a manner which would
result in flooding on- or off-site?
iii) create or contribute runoff water which
would exceed the capaCity of existing or
planned stormwater drainage systems or
provide substantial additional sources of
polluted runoff?
iv) impeded or redirect flood flows?
d) In flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk
release of pollutants due to project inundation? e) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of a
water quality control plan or sustainable
groundwater management plan?
a) Clearing, grading, excavation, and construction activities associated with redevelopment within the boundary of the SPU may impact water quality due to sheet erosion of exposed soils and subsequent deposition of particulates in local drainages. Both State and local regulations effectively mitigate construction stormwater runoff impacts from redevelopment associated with the SPU. The City of Corona's grading ordinance contains expanded requirements for grading, site erosion control, and NPDES requirements. This ordinance affects all grading construction sites of any size. Therefore, compliance with existing State and local regulations will ensure that the future redevelopment within the SPU will not degrade surface or ground water quality.
Therefore, there will be less than significant impacts. b) The SPU area relies on local groundwater resources for approximately 40 percent of its water supply. Therefore, increases in population could generate a higher demand for groundwater resources. However, the City of Corona updates its urban water management plan (UWMP) every five years, quantifying existing and projected water supplies and demands to ensure there will not be any water supply shortages or significant groundwater depletion. Since the preparation of the General Plan Update EIR, the UWMP was updated in 2020 and concluded the city’s sources of water supply are sustainably managed and are projected to exceed demand through 2045. The SPU does not contain any changes to the underlying General Plan land use
